This is a woman, according to the law in Ireland.
Thanks, Self ID! Between the old sacred class and the new one, I guess we just have to give up hoping that Ireland will ever treat women with any respect.
This person is not the same sex as my mum, my daughter or any other woman alive. He is certainly not the same sex, and is far older, than the girl with whom he’s playing a contact sport.
How can Irish women put up with this insult? Why aren’t Irish men standing up for them? What the fuck has happened to my country?
Agree on every level - this is getting past a fucking joke. This man is AGP - Ireland needs to wake the fuck up!
Sexual fetishes aside, he is not a woman. He shouldn't be playing women's sports, and he shouldn't be in women's single sex spaces. If bodies don't matter in contact sport, where do they?
Turning to the fetish aspect, a man with one fetish is more likely to have multiple, and a man who clearly enjoys sadomasochism and bondage, as well as dressing as a woman in a highly sexually objectified fashion is clearly an AGP. Why is it again that women (and society at large) have to play along with anyone's sexual fetish in public? No one would defend his right to make us call him 'slave' or 'master' in the corner shop, or smile and watch politely as he flashed us at the bus stop, but call him 'she'? Yes, that fetish we now have to play along with on pain of criminalisation. Gross gross gross.
